Grand Theatre, Doncaster

Following this, Frederick William Masters constructed a new circus hall on the street, noted for its lower walls being six feet thick, in order to support the weight of the elephants.

The building was soon sold to the Salvation Army, and then in 1896 to J. W. Chapman, who renamed it the "People's Picture Palace", and showed the first films in the town.

In the 1960s, the Arndale Centre was constructed in the area, with the other properties on Station Road demolished, but the theatre was retained.

It concluded that it could be viable, with a reduced capacity of 400 to 500, but would have to be reopened on a phased basis, and that urgent repair works were needed first.

The front is curved, and the ground floor has Doric pilasters and round arched doorways.
